Chief Jimmy Bruneau School in Behchokǫ̀, Northwest Territories, has a new Lu Interactive Board that was installed and tested recently with help from the Tłı̨chǫ Government’s Justice and Victim Services division. The school is inviting community members to visit and see the new classroom technology.
The Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 school is operated by the Tłı̨chǫ Community Services Agency. School leaders say the board is meant to support teaching and learning across grade levels.
Principal Dianne Lafferty and Vice-Principal Chris Cochrane are part of the school leadership overseeing the new setup. The support from the Tłı̨chǫ Government’s Justice and Victim Services division adds to its work on school programs and community education.
The upgrade comes as the school continues to rely on newer digital tools in the classroom. A territorial planning page from the Department of Education, Culture and Employment says long-term capital planning has identified aging infrastructure at the school, with any new replacement school not expected to start construction before 2028 at the earliest.
